Phony blog comments: A plague that just won't stop anytime soon

February 3, 2007 2:00 AM | No Comments

I’m pretty disgusted by this posting on Craigslist:

"Contract Writing Position for Blogging Campaign (Midtown) Date: 2007-02-02, 11:48AM ESTContract Writing Position for Blogging Campaign.

We are an advertising agency that is looking for somebody to work from 2/14 - 2/26 as part of a viral marketing campaign. The job will essentially consist of contributing to a variety of blogs and message boards. Candidates should write well and have the ability to think creatively on their feet. An interest in music and technology is a big plus.

Though this should be a fun job, it is important that the candidate understand the objectives of the campaign, work hard, and go about blogging in a very efficient and organized manner. Tracking when and where comments have been posted is just as important as the comments themselves. It is a full-time position, $10/hour for the tenure of the contract. You will be working at our midtown office location.

Please send a resume as well as writing samples that illustrate creativity. The ideal candidate would have experience with:

- Blogging
- Viral marketing
- Web marketing
- Excel

Those that are successful in this role will have contract opportunities in the future. We are looking to start interviewing next week.

This is a contract / Freelance position.
Candidate must be located in or have easy access to NY City.
Please email resume and writing samples to: nymktgfreelancer@gmail.com
To be considered, you must include “Blogger” in the subject of the email."

Seriously, phony comments and fake trackbacks are a problem I’m constantly dealing with, especially on Filter27. Assholes.
